Life And Adventures Of Martin Chuzzlewit: The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit (commonly known as Martin Chuzzlewit) is a novel by Charles Dickens, considered the last of his picaresque novels. It was originally serialised between 1842 and 1844. Dickens thought it to be his best work,but it was one of his least popular novels.Like nearly all of Dickens' novels, Martin Chuzzlewit was released to the public in monthly instalments. Early sales of the monthly parts were disappointing, compared to previous works, so Dickens changed the plot to send the title character to America.This allowed the author to portray the United States (which he had visited in 1842) satirically as a near wilderness with pockets of civilisation filled with deceptive and self-promoting hucksters. The main theme of the novel, according to a preface by Dickens, is selfishness, portrayed in a satirical fashion using all the members of the Chuzzlewit family. The novel is also notable for two of Dickens' great villains, Seth Pecksniff and Jonas Chuzzlewit. It is dedicated to Angela Georgina Burdett-Coutts, a friend of Dickens. Englisch, Ebook.

The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit: " The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit" , often just called " Martin Chuzzlewi" , was a novel by Charles Dickens, published immediately after " The Old Curiosity Shop" in 1844. Dickens thought it was &ldquo in a hundred points, immeasurably the best&rdquo of his stories. " The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit" is a picaresque novel, which follows the genre convention of depicting the humorous adventures of a roguish hero of low social class who lives by his wits and corrupts society. As in most picaresque novels, the primary objective is social satire or criticism. Selfishness is the idea that Charles Dickens explores in this novel. Martin is elderly and rich, and everyone knows this. Through the story, we see just how far people will go to make money, and just how quickly everything can come crashing down for those who exist only to con others out of their cash. Young Martin Chuzzlewit becomes estranged from his wealthy self centred grandfather when he vows his love for the grandfather' s ward, Mary, without asking for the grandfather' s consent. Since Martin has no money of his own, he is forced to go out in the world to seek a living. He decides to go to America to seek his fortune, accompanied by his friend and servant, Mark Tapley. While he is gone, another relative, the evil Mr. Pecksniff seems to gain some influence over the grandfather. He also begins to make love to Mary and tries to persuade her to marry him. While in America, Martin buys some swampland and becomes very sick. As a result of his close call with death, he vows to become a better person. He and Mark return to England, where he hopes to reconcile with his grandfather. At first he is unsuccessful, but when the grandfather has made certain that young Martin is a changed man, he reveals that he had not really been under Pecksniff' s influence, that he had known Pecksniff' s evil character from the start, and that he had only wished to test how far he would go. The grandfather and Martin are reconciled, and Martin' s marriage to Mary is approved. Englisch, Ebook.
